Fibroadenoma of Ectopic Breast Tissue in the Groin – A Rare Disease Entity

Abstract Introduction/Objective Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) is a well-documented anomaly of the breast and commonly presents along the embryonic milk line extending between the axilla and groin. Reported incidence of accessory breast is 0.4–6% in females. Pathologies developing in an EBT are reported as a rare entity in the literature. Carcinoma is reported as the common pathology followed by inflammation and fibroadenoma Methods We present a case of 43-year- old female who presented with a painless mass in her right groin for the past year which gradually increased in size. CT abdomen pelvis with contrast showed a 2.2 x 3.0 x 4.4 cm superficial soft tissue mass in the right groin which was suspected to be a lymph node. Further investigation and histopathological report of biopsy showed ectopic breast tissue with admixed chronic inflammation and reactive changes.However, excision of the mass three months later showed showed proloferation of both glandular and stromal elements. Results The tissue from the biopsy was positive for GATA 3, mammoglobin, GCDFP and CD 10 and the histological features on excision was confirmatory of fibroadenoma. Conclusion In conclusion, when tumors or nodules are found along the mammary line, the presence of breast tissue should be considered during the investigation. It is clinically wise to evaluate and screen carefully cases of supernumerary breast for any pathology and for any associated urogenital anomalies such as supernumerary kidneys, polycystic kidneys and renal cell adenocaricnoma. In our case, patient had no associated urogenital anomalies and she is on follow up.

Fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue in chest wall: a rare case report and review of the literature

Fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue is a rare disease. Ectopuc breast tissues are found along milk line. Malignancy is more common than fibroadenoma in ectopic breast tissue. Ectopic breast tissue can be present with nipple or without nipple areola complex. Here we report a case of 20 years old patient having fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue in anterior chest wall without nipple areola complex. Patient underwent excision and biopsy. Histopathology confirmed it as fibroadenoma of the ectopic breast tissue. This case has been reported for its rarity and to reemphasise the importance of screening of EBT for any pathology during routine screening of breast.

A rare case of fibroadenoma in ectopic breast tissue of axilla: case report

Developmental abnormalities of breast can lead to formation of ectopic breast tissue which may present as polymastia or polythelia or in form of swelling along the milk line. Ectopic breast tissue can also develop pathological changes similar to normal located breast tissue. This report is about a case of fibroadenoma developing in ectopic breast tissue of axilla. A thirty-four-year-old female presented with painful swelling in right axilla for 2 years and was diagnosed with fibroadenoma of axillary tail of right breast. Excision biopsy of the swelling confirmed the diagnosis of fibroadenoma. Fibroadenoma must be considered for any axillary swelling along with other differential diagnoses like lymphadenopathy, carcinoma arising from ectopic breast tissue, lipoma, sebaceous cyst, tuberculosis, vascular lesions, cutaneous malignancies or secondaries in lymph nodes. Ectopic breast tissue should be subjected to similar evaluation and screening as is recommended for normally located breast tissue. The patient should also be evaluated for possibility of kidney and urinary tract malformations.

Fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue in axilla: a case report

Fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue is a rare disease. It is very important to rule out malignancy as carcinoma commonly occurs in ectopic breast tissue. Here we report a case of 48 years old female presenting with complaints of swelling in right axilla since 3 months. Fine needle aspiration cytology suggested fibroadenoma of right breast. Ultrasonography of axilla revealed no other swellings apart from the fibroadenoma. Patient underwent excision and biopsy. Histopathology confirmed it as fibroadenoma of the ectopic breast tissue.

Fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue of the axilla in an adolescent girl

Ectopic breast tissue (EBT) is a well-described entity in the English literature. However, fibroadenoma of the ectopic breast is a rare entity. We present a case of a 13-year-old adolescent girl with a subcutaneous mass in the right axilla that was pathologically identical to fibroadenoma seen in the EBT. To our knowledge, this is the second youngest patient reported with axillary EBT, which should be considered as a part of the differential diagnosis for axillary masses.

Fibroadenoma of the Ectopic Axillary Breast Tissue: Sonographic Appearances

Ectopic breast tissue is reported to occur in 0.4% - 6% of women. Breast neoplasms may develop in ectopic breast tissue, as in eutopic breast tissue. The most frequent condition in ectopic breast is breast cancer. Fibroadenomas of ectopic breast tissue have been reported, but are rare. We report two cases of fibroadenomas of ectopic axillary breast tissues. The sonographic appearance of the nodules was spherical and hypoechoic. We found the component of breast tissue near the nodule. It is important to diagnose fibroadenomas of ectopic breast tissue before a histologic examination.

Fibroadenoma of axillary ectopic breast tissue: A rare clinical entity

Supernumerary breast or polymastia is a well-documented anomaly of the breast and commonly presents along the embryonic milk line extending between the axilla and groin. Reported incidence of accessory breast is 0.4-6% in females. During 2 years period, we encountered only two cases out of twenty cases of axillary lumps. We present one case of fibroadenoma in ectopic breast tissue (EBT) in axilla. Ectopic breast denotes breast tissue at more than two pectoral regions, which is mostly benign but at times can be malignant. EBT is at a greater risk of malignancy. Fibroadenoma of ectopic axillary breast tissue (EBT) is quiet rare, but should always be kept in mind for differential diagnosis of an axillary mass.

Fibroadenoma of Ectopic Breast tissue in Axilla

A 32 year old female patient with a soft boggy mass in the left axilla was referred from the surgery clinic for fine needle aspiration with a provisional diagnosis of fat hypertrophy. Physical examination revealed a well defined mobile nodule within the mass. Cytological examination of the aspirated material and histopathological examination was consistent with fibroadenoma.

Pregnancy-related fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue in the vulva.

Pregnancy-related vulvar fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue is rare. Management involves diagnosing the mass as a fibroadenoma by physical examination and delaying excision until the postpartum period. A 31-year-old multigravid woman at 29 weeks' gestation had a right labial mass that was increasing in size. Physical examination showed accessory breast tissue in the left axilla and three vulvar masses, the largest vulvar mass measuring 4 × 5 cm. Suspicion of malignancy was low, so the patient was serially examined during the pregnancy and the vulvar masses were excised during the postpartum period. The final diagnosis was fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue. Fibroadenoma of ectopic breast tissue can occur during pregnancy. Diagnosis and serial physical examinations are the appropriate course of management during pregnancy. A fine-needle aspiration biopsy can be performed during pregnancy to confirm the diagnosis. The tumors seldom regress spontaneously and so should be removed during the postpartum period.
